1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: You found Fantasy Football Weekly Micro, a deep dive on

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: one player in just five to ten minutes. Now here's

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: your host, Paul Georgie. It's Fantasy Football Weekly Micro edition

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: and experimental version of Fantasy Football Weekly in which we

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: break down one player for five to ten minutes, and

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: pretty much every time it's about ten minutes, So I

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: don't know. The five minutes might have been just more

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: of a goal than really a reality test. I am

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Paul Giargie and my co host is Guillotine, a Leagues

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: dot Com writer Tyler Knabiley. Tyler, who do you want

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: to break down today? I think we're gonna go with

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: Nazi Harris a little running back action to say, Oh,

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: I like it coming off a bad year that started

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: horribly ended a little bit better, but didn't end up

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: living up too close to where his ADP was last season. Yeah,

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: not even close. I mean he finishes the RB four

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 1: team last year, which actually feels a lot higher than

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: like I had him roster on a team and it

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: did not. No, Well, that's because I think his best

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: games are at the end of the year when your

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: team was out of it at that point. Exactly who

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: was the RB twenty and average points for game for

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: what it's worth. And it's funny because his ADP this

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: year is actually around RB fourteen, exactly where he finished

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: last year or so. Yeah, and there are people who

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: felt like Jalen Waddle was at least as good as

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: he was in limited action. I'm I don't know, Jane

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: la Warren, excuse me, yes, so you know, I don't

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 1: know that I would go quite that far. But let's

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: let's dive into Naji Harris a little bit. What kind

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: of um, what kind of advanced metrics should we know

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 1: about Nagi Harris' season? So, according to the next Gen stats,

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: Nagie Harris finished that's the worst running back in rush

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: yards over expected with negative eighty one. So he's the

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: things not good. I think what's most notable is the

36
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: running backs that were finished below him. Here they are, well,

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: he was worst. These couldn't have finished below him, well,

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean above it him, So okay, all right, I

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: got it. So Letard Fournette all right, not on his

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: current team, so dropped by the Bucks. Okay, Melvin Gordon

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: not on it, not on his current team either, right,

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: you know? And then he ended up on the Chiefs

43
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: and then they never played him. Ezekiel Elliott not on

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: his current team, Michael Carter on his current team at

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: least for now, but might be like the RB three,

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: He might be RB three for the Jets. James Robinson

47
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: not on his current team and not on last year's team,

48
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook mystery in Minnesota, could be off his

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: current team. Yes, yes, I suspect he will be it

50
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: before everything is said and done, one way or another. So,

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: out of that whole list of players that finished in

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: the terrible yards over expectation, only one of those six

53
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: were the teams bothered to even retain. So it makes

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: you wonder is Nage Harris a part of the future

55
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: plans for the Steelers. I mean, I think the one

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: thing going into last season when we were talking about

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: him and drafting him was the efficiency. Because the efficiency

58
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: in his rookie season, he was not good, really at all.

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: He had the twelfth worst yards per attempt in twenty

60
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: twenty one three point nine, and he was tied with

61
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Zeke and Cream Hunt this year for the fifth worst

62
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: in yards twenty to a three point eight. Yeah, that

63
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: doesn't bode well. Now, the offensive line has been a

64
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: legitimate excuse for the failings of Naji Harris because the

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: line is awful. It was awful two years ago. They

66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: didn't improve it last year. Hopefully it gets better this year.

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Talk to me about the impact from the offensive line

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: standpoint in Pittsburgh. Well, it's funny because I just remember

69
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: I remember two seasons ago it being a huge problem,

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: and yeah, they cannot run the ball. It's like this

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: running this old line cannot run block. So in twenty

72
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: twenty one they were the twenty seventh and run blocking

73
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: for PF, and last year they actually got to sixteenth,

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: which that seems like a marrage to me. It didn't

75
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: seem like they were they middle the pack run blocking unit.

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: To me, I don't know. I feel like that's where

77
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: PF can conna sometimes be like, what are they seen

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: that we're not? So yeah, yeah, didn't. It didn't feel

79
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: that way to me. Now, where Naji Harris helps is

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: he can catch. Oh, he can catch for sure. I

81
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: mean that was the thing in twenty twenty one which

82
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: made him like I think he was the RB five,

83
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: RB eight something like that in working season and he

84
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: had seventy one catches on ninety four targets. He was

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: first in receptions among running backs, which I think is notable. Well,

86
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: I think the reason he did it was with big Ben.

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: Big Ben is just dump off king. Yeah he was,

88
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: that's right two years ago, right, because he couldn't throw downfield.

89
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: The arm was totally watched. UFF think there was a

90
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: game he like for Ben thirteen catches and something or something.

91
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: With Big Ben, I remember that distinct leave. So it's

92
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: kind to take the other grand Soul's kind of like

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Matt Ryan. Those guys just dump off, dump

94
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: off basses. So Big Ben leaves, Kenny Pickett comes in,

95
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: flash Mitchel Trobisky, and he has forty one catches on

96
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: fifty three targets, about half as many exactly time for

97
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: fifteenthrough receptions a running back. And I think this hurt

98
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: Naji Harris owners more than anything else. You felt like

99
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: you could bank on the receptions, Like you know, the

100
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: running game. It might not be there all the time.

101
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: Steelers is gonna behind in some games, but you know what,

102
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: we know he can catch. He was coming off that

103
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: season with the most receptions of any running backs. You're like,

104
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, my worst case scenarios. He falls off to

105
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: like fifth in receptions and he's still gonna help my

106
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: PPR leagues. But that didn't come That really did not

107
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: come together either for this offense. It also feels like

108
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren was on the field quite a bit for

109
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: them last season. I mean the rookie season, it felt

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: like Naja Harris was the guy and he was the

111
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: only guy. Last season, Jalen Warren kind of made a

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: bit of an impact where this steve. I mean he

113
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: was I think he's a rookie YEP undrafted free agent

114
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: and they really liked him. They put him in the

115
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: game and he played pretty well. Yeah, and that's that's

116
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: some more here too. Um. It feels like you're certainly

117
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna pay a lot lot less for Naji Harris this

118
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: year than the mid first round pick that he costs

119
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: you last year. But is that still a good value?

120
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: Where's he going in drafts right now? Right now? He

121
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: is going as the RB fourteen, RB fourteen third round.

122
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Are you buying him there looking at some of these

123
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: other running backs around him? I don't think I am,

124
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: just because I feel like I said that RB fourteen,

125
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like he was that last season. I

126
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: think he was the beneficiary of just some some okay

127
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: games down the strets, some good games, I guess, But

128
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: I just I don't know why. The offense is terrible,

129
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: the old lines good, Kenny Pickett's ninety good. I just

130
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I can't get myself behind the draft him in front

131
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: of some of these other guys, like do you would

132
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: you who would you draft Najie Harris or Romandre Stevenson

133
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: Because I'm the leader of the Romandra Stevenson fan club

134
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: and Damian Harris is gone. So I'm taking Romandra Stevenson

135
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: for sure. Okay, it's not even close. What about Jimir

136
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Gibbs if he gives it's also landing spot dependent, but

137
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: in the right place. He's an electrifying runner. So exactly

138
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: if he looks like he's going to be the lead back,

139
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm taking Gibbs for sure. If Gibbs looks like he's

140
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: drops into a timeshare spot, then I would probably lean.

141
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: I might lean Harris. Aaron Jones, Well, we know he's

142
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: in a timeshare spot, but we've seen but we've seen

143
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: what he can do at times, Yeah, which is good,

144
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: not great. I mean, there was a lot of frustration

145
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: as a as somebody that was investing in a lot

146
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: of Aaron Jones last year. There was plenty of frustration there.

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: But I still think i'd rather bank on that Packer offense.

148
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: That's Steelers offense. I think I'd take Aaron Jones, who,

149
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: by the way, is great and it was vastly I

150
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: felt under you, Spike green Bay last year. Yea, all right,

151
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: I got one more player for you, but two different situations.

152
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: All right. Dalvin Cook on the Vikings, Uh, as the presume,

153
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: even though they paid Alexander Madison, what is in today's

154
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: market starting running back money? I think I'd go Dalvin

155
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: Cook under the presumption that he's going to be the

156
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: starter and get most of the work. All right, What

157
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: about this Dalvin Cook on the Dolphins. I just made

158
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: that team up. It is a potential landing spot. So

159
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook on the Dolphins, Well, now I'm a lot

160
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: more interested. Uh, that would be a that'd be a

161
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: tremendous landing spot for him, and I'd be I'd be

162
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: a lot more interested in Dalvin Cooking. And definitely Dalvin

163
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Cook there, I mean, wouldn't be close Dalvin Cook ends

164
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: up on the Dolphins given all the other weapons on

165
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: that offense, I think he'll he'll go in the second

166
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: round in most drafts. So you think so do you

167
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: like Dalvin Cook on the Dolphins more than on the Vikings? Yes,

168
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: for sure, all right, because there's no competition for carries

169
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: in Miami and that whole offense. No, it doesn't matter

170
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: right now. I'm not scared to write you boasted, no um,

171
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: all right, to let me, let me, let's frame it.

172
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: Let's frame up the conversation this way. And I want

173
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: to get to dynasty as well. But percentage chance Nazi

174
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 1: Harris starts and finishes the season as the Steelers number

175
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: one running back. He's the first round running back. He's

176
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: still seemingly the guy. I don't think Jalen Warren's gonna

177
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: take a spot from him. I think the numbers, and

178
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: some of them you hit on here, the terrible efficiency numbers.

179
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: I think he's vulnerable more than you think. We talked

180
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: about the old line being bad. How much how much

181
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: do you how much of the blame would you give him?

182
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Percentage wise? It's his fault? Uh? Probably half? Okay? I

183
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: mean you know, I think if he had been running

184
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: behind the Browns offensive line, Nazi Harris would be a

185
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: first round pick, or the Falcons offensive line for that matter. Yeah,

186
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons have a sneaky good offensive line. Yeah, um yeah,

187
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think that's part of it. Uh, where

188
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: would you how do you value Najie Harris in a

189
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: dynasty league? I actually just traded it away in a

190
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: dynasty league. Okay, so you don't Yeah, so would you

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: get So what's the what's the going rate on him?

192
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: I think I got a twenty twenty four first, okay

193
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: for Naji Harris, and I feel like I sold him

194
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: decently well yeah, just because I mean, you can't get

195
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: more than the first right now, especially not that I'm in. Yeah,

196
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: probably not. I don't think you could get this year

197
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: a first this year for him. Yeah, I was just

198
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: too scared about Like obviously, I sold kind of low

199
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: on him because his his his stock right now, it

200
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: seems to be an all time low. But like you said,

201
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: I think it could I could get lower than this.

202
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: It could be Yes, it could be great. Job Tyler.
